Welcome to the Test Drive Meme for Pollere! Reserves will open on Saturday, August 24th at 12PM EST. As a reminder, this is a capped game at 20 players. You must be on Mod Coco’s timeline to play in this game. Below are some prompts to help you get a general feel for the game and its setting, but feel free to come up with whatever you’d like!

Please be sure to refer to the FAQ for setting guidelines and drop any questions you may have there, or contact one of the mods at [plurk.com profile] pollere/PM!

Training
You’ve been given a brand new power, known in this world as a Semblance. You’ve been briefed on what a Semblance is: A physical manifestation of your abilities, mixed with one of your personality traits. Maybe you see the correlation, maybe you don’t. Either way, there are training dummies set up for you to practice on. Burn them down, cut them in half -- they’ll magically put themselves back together and restore themselves back to normal after you’ve given things a go. Of course, there’s always the option to ask one of your fellow Remnants to spar with you, too.

Grimm Hunting
It’s nighttime and the Grimm are awake and active, prowling around either individually or in packs. They’re prowling around the village and the only thing keeping them from pouncing on you and the others are the fireposts set up along the perimeter. Still, you can hear them growling in the distance. It’s unsettling. Maybe you’re content to spend the rest of the night like this...or maybe you want to do something about it.

The choice is yours, Remnant.

Should you choose to hunt some Grimm, whether it be for Grimm bones or so you can sleep a little easier tonight, you'll find that they're relentless in their attacks, swiping and clawing and biting at you with everything they've got. Whether there's one of them or several, it might be unwise to fight them alone.

R&R
There’s a campfire set up for The Remnants, and you’re all settled in for the night, even with Grimm lurking in the background. The fire, at least, wards them away, keeping them at a distance despite their prowling around. Maybe now is a good time to get to know your fellow teammates. How about a campfire story? Or Truth or Dare? Not sure how well your fellow Remnants will take the latter, but hey, it might be worth a go!

Exploration
You venture outside of the small town you’re in after you spot a small cave in the distance. It’s easy to miss, what with the vines hanging over the entrance and evergreen moss growing on the walls. Rumor has it that there’s some sort of treasure inside, and whether it’s greed or curiosity or both, you’re drawn to it. You want to see what has yet to be discovered. It’s a good thing you have a buddy with you to explore, because who knows what lurks inside? Dust? Gold? Or...another Grimm?

Oh, I found it to all be very exciting! I was trying to break new grounds with my husband, you see- although perhaps I was the only one who found them to be truly new.

[In terms of medicine, at any rate. For her husband, it was all seeing people as being worthy of such medicine that was the new part. For a moment, her heart pangs a little bit- in worry, in loneliness, in anxiety that she can't help him where she is right now- and she curls a hand over her heart before laughing a little.]

[She can't worry about it right now. Not with the task set in front of all of them.]


I'm worried I might bore some of the people here if I go on about medicine!

I don't know, I think it's something that's pretty important.

[They're going to need people who can patch others up and keep them going, after all. Hieke's own skills will only take him so far - and with his connection to Kelemvor severed, they're even more limited than they were before.]

Even if it's boring, it's still worth learning about.

It's the reason that I was brought here, I'm certain of it.

[Considering the circumstances that were happening back in her home... Well, she supposes she should be grateful that she managed to make any sort of similar name to herself enough that beings of another world were able to become interested.]

[Stretching her arms out in front of her, fingers entwined, she hums.]


I'd like to teach everyone some basic first aid skills if they don't already know them, before anything else. There's only so much of myself that can go around, so it's good if people can help mitigate what they can, even if it only seems like a little bit.

After that... There's a lot more we can look into, especially to help the people here.

All the better for us, huh?

[His head bobs at that, and he looks into the fire.]

I...know a bit of first aid already, so there's one person you won't have to worry about. Don't usually work with humans, though.

[Despite that, the principle is still the same.]

[personal profile] drtrepe 2019-08-18 07:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, do you mind explaining?

[The only hesitation that comes before her next sentence is one of habit, used to hiding her husband's background, before she forges along. Vlad by far isn't the weirdest thing in this situation.]

My husband isn't human either- well, I suppose not anymore- so I'm used to having to adjust my medical practices. But it's better to know things ahead of time.

[personal profile] inflictwounds 2019-08-19 06:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Not anymore?

[That's...an odd choice of wording. There's a few things that image conjures up, and none of them are very good.]

Well - I'm obviously not human. [Obviously.] Tieflings and humans are pretty different, in most ways, and I learned most of my first aid for tieflings.

[He makes no mention of the ragtag group he was travelling with - he took care of them, sure, and none of them were human. But that's just...private.]
drtrepe: (Basically I am an endless fountain)

It was rather before we met, you see, so I'm not entirely sure on the specifics. Not that you would ever think he was anything otherwise... besides being probably some eight feet tall... Having fangs... A tendency for dramatics...

[She loves Vlad dearly, she really does, but sometimes he's just A Lot, and her fond tone says as much. Apparently it's genetic because their son is the same way.]

Would it be rude if I asked what a tiefling is, exactly? And any of the major differences to keep an eye out for.

[personal profile] inflictwounds 2019-08-21 09:41 am (UTC)(link)
What, is he a vampire?

[Sounds like a vampire to him! Not that he's ever met one himself. He just knows they exist.]

Ah...it's hard to explain. There's a few different ways someone could be a tiefling - either they have devilish ancestry or their ancestors made a pact with Asmodeus. The biggest difference would probably be the inborn magic a tiefling has, but...That magic seems to be gone, here.

[Hopefully he doesn't have to explain who Asmodeus is. He already feels like he's said too much.]

[personal profile] drtrepe 2019-08-21 05:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, good, you're already familiar. That certainly saves me some time, doesn't it?

[So, yes, got it in one. Lisa even seems to relax, with that out in the open. It's funny, but she's never been able to talk about this so openly with anyone. It's really rather nice.]

Does it worry you, not having access to that magic?
inflictwounds: (pic#13350282)

[personal profile] inflictwounds 2019-08-23 03:27 pm (UTC)(link)
I suppose it does.

[He leans back, tail flicking back and forth.]

...No. Not really. I mean, it's like there's a part of me missing, but I'll get it back once our mission is over, won't I?

[It's the other magic he's more worried about, but he's not going to mention that.]
drtrepe: (I'm sorry some of us common folk)

[personal profile] drtrepe 2019-08-23 04:32 pm (UTC)(link)
That seems like what would logically happen... or at least what I suppose a lot of people would hope for.

[The slight movement catches her eyes, and Lisa turns her head a little before she realizes it's his tail. She supposes that's one of the things she'll have to get used to, working here. Well, in due time.]

I can hardly imagine how it all works myself. I'd love to know how more in detail how they've made all this happen, and yet saving this world of theirs is something that they can't accomplish on their own. It sounds.. really intriguing, to say the very least.
